FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 5, 2011 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS JEFF DUNHAM LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25 FOR TWO SHOWS … ONE NIGHT ONLY! Coquitlam, BC – Ventriloquist and stand-up comedian, Jeff Dunham is a phenomenally successful global entertainment brand. Dunham has of course plenty of help on-stage … his entourage of signature characters who are there to challenge and chastise his every sentence. There’s “Walter”, the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving and resolutely red neck “Bubba J”; the furry and manic “Peanut”; “José Jalapeño”, the spicy pepper from South of the border; and the bumbling skeletal “Achmed the Dead Terrorist”. They may have all been conceived and hand crafted by Dunham but his characters – who are anything but dummies – have now taken on a life of their own … each with their own legion of fans. After numerous television appearances on the late night talk show circuit, Dunham starred in his first one-hour special, Arguing with Myself on Comedy Central in 2006. Soon after the show aired, he became a comedy phenomenon reviving a lost art with new levels of comedy and a contemporary voice. Dunham went on to star in his second Comedy Central special, Spark of Insanity in 2007 followed by Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special in 2008. He has performed sold-out shows across three continents from the United Kingdom to Sydney, from New York to Copenhagen. There is universal appeal to Dunham’s relationship with his characters that transcends any small gaps in language translation. His sketch comedy series, The Jeff Dunham Show premiered in the fall of 2009 and was the highest rated show in Comedy Central history with 5.3 million viewers in its initial airing. This past November, Dunham released his autobiography, All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and Me which immediately landed on the New York Times Best Seller list. He has also made several cameo appearances across television and film including NBC’s 30 Rock and Jay Roach’s Dinner for Schmucks starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. Dunham, who is currently appearing at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, is getting ready to launch a new worldwide tour which will include two shows at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in February.
